Fiona Joy Hawkins - Christmas Joy

The SACD layer of hybrid SACDs offers much higher fidelity than regular compact discs, containing up to four times the musical information. Hybrid SACDs are designed for CD-quality playback on conventional systems, including home and car stereos, portable CD players, computer CD- and DVD-ROM drives, and DVD players.

In Christmas Joy, Fiona Joy Hawkins has breathed new life into a repertoire of traditional music deeply in need of new perspective and new energy. The recording offers an inventive and, yes, joyful approach; bringing life to music which has been taken for granted for decades. Both in her unique slant on traditional music and in her own compositions for this recording, Christmas Joy is an utterly brilliant creation.
